"Hallelujah" gets massively overplayed at open mikes, and as good a song as it is, I've gotten really tired of it. And worse, it's a long song that often lasts 7 or 8 minutes. So when you don't want to hear the song and someone starts playing it, you know you're in for a long haul. During a particularly tedious rendition in 2010, I wrote this alternate set of lyrics.
